Anyone care to recommend a longboard for someone who is a 6’1”, 160 lbs, beginner-ish surfer? Just looking for a good NY/NJ summer board that will get the guy up and cruising on every wave that comes his way. Prefer poly over epoxy and looking for quality over thrift… trying to avoid the pop outs etc.
For background, I grew up riding short boards and I’m trying to help a friend pick out a longboard. But, my knowledge in the area is lacking. He already has a fun board, but needs something with a little more volume for the mushburger summer days over here on the east coast. Would love to shape one eventually but unfortunately not an option right now.
Any recommendations welcome (aside from “GFY” and “use the search button you idiot”)
